Subject: Administrative, Reminder: Planned ESPC/CIP Quarterly --047d7b15a25d7ad36c05005ea61a Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Topic: Notification of Planned ESPC/CIP Quarterly Exercise with Failover to the CIP Date/Time Issued: August 11, 2014 1430 UTC Date/Time of Initial Impact: August 12, 2014 1230 UTC OR August 13, 2014 1230 UTC (contingency date) Date/Time of Expected End: August 12, 2014 1930 UTC OR August 13, 2014 1930 UTC (contingency date) See table in detail for on and off switch time. Length of Event: Approximately 7 hours of access to NSOF Data/CIP Data will be available during that period. Product(s) or Data Impacted: All ESPC products will be affected. For a list of the products that will and will not be available through CIP during this failover test, please see http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/cip.html Please note: several websites/data links will NOT be available during the CIP failover test. Details/Specifics of Change: The Environmental Satellite Processing Center (ESPC) plans to failover to the Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) site on August 12, 2014 and possibly August 13, 2014, as a follow-up to the ESPC CIP Contingency Exercise. The purpose of the exercise is to validate the ability to failover the ESPC network to the CIP system and the ability to switchback the ESPC network to the NOAA Satellite Operations Facility (NSOF) after an approximately seven (7) hours duration. This test will be transparent to ESPC users, with the exception of pre-determined non-critical/non-funded products not being available during the test. Please see a link below for products available/not available during the exercise. The exercise will not be done on a Critical Weather Day, or if there are other significant operational issues warranting postponement. If a Critical Weather Day is declared on August 12, 2014, the ESPC/CIP Contingency Exercise will restart on August 13, 2014 at 1230 UTC, and products should begin distributing from the CIP system by 1330 UTC. No date pastAugust 13, 2014 has been planned, and will require a new notification. The CIP site, at Wallops Island, VA will be the operational ESPC system for a total of seven (7) hours. Network Failover to ESPC/CIP: 1 hour Product Distribution/Network Sustainability: 5 hours Network switchback to ESPC/NSOF: 1 hour Please note the following websites/data links will NOT be available during the CIP failover test: www.ospo.noaa.gov www.osdpd.noaa.gov www.goes-arch.noaa.gov www.geonetcastamericas.noaa.gov www.firedetect.noaa.gov/viewer.htm espcgis.nesdis.noaa.gov/Website/SSDSnow/viewer.htm www.ospo.noaa.gov/Products/land/fire.html www.ospo.noaa.gov/Products/ocean/tropical.html www.ospo.noaa.gov/Products/land/hms.html although a temporary page will be available at http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/FIRE/hms.html Portions of www.ssd.noaa.gov including all WFO image sectors, all MTSAT and all METEOSAT images.
